Short‐Course Low‐Dose Primaquine for Radical Cure in G6PD‐Normal Patients in the Pre‐Elimination Context of Nepal

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Plasmodium vivax remains a challenge for malaria elimination in Nepal due to its ability to relapse. Radical cure with primaquine is effective but limited by poor adherence to the standard 14‐day low‐dose regimen. In 2022, the WHO recommended administering the same total dose (3.5 mg/kg) over 7 days to improve adherence.

Korat‐Scrub Typhus Score: A Clinical Tool for Predicting Scrub Typhus in Patients With Acute Undifferentiated Febrile Illness

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Scrub typhus is a major cause of acute undifferentiated febrile illness (AUFI) in the Asia–Pacific region. Nonspecific presentation, limited diagnostic accuracy and delayed treatment increase morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to develop a simple clinical score for early diagnosis in adults with AUFI. Methods A cross‐sectional

Age‐Related and Seasonal Variation in Malaria and Other Causes of Fever and Their Association With Clinical Outcomes in Southern Angola: A Hospital‐Based Study

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Acute febrile illnesses in sub‐Saharan Africa are often attributed to malaria, yet many patients test negative for malaria parasites. The aetiology of nonmalarial fevers remains understudied. Here, we examine likely causes of febrile illnesses and their association with poor clinical outcomes in Angola.

Uncomplicated Malaria in Infancy and Neurodevelopment at 1 and 6 Years: Evidence From the MiPPAD Birth Cohort Study of Benin

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In malaria‐endemic regions, repeated episodes of uncomplicated malaria during infancy are common; however, their associations with neurodevelopment remain unclear. We examined relationships between malaria frequency in infancy and neurodevelopmental outcomes in early and middle childhood, using data from the APEC birth cohort nested within the

Validation of Health Belief Model and Theory of Planned Behaviour Constructs for Predicting Malaria Vaccine Acceptance in Ghana: A Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling Approach

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study examines the predictive power of constructs from the health belief model (HBM) and theory of planned behaviour (TPB) in explaining malaria vaccine acceptance in Ghana in the post‐COVID‐19 era, while also assessing the reliability of these constructs within this context.
